The F-35 is needed to ensure that you have a country that enables the government to steal
money from its citizens to pay for other citizens health care.

You probably should move then.


The F-35 is needed to assure defense contractors have a steady stream of
cost overruns they can bill and military officers have billets. The
money would better be spent on building roads, bridges, electrical
grids, sewage systems in this country.

It's difficult, but I'd have to agree with that last sentence.

Who is "we"? You have acknowledged that you are not a programmer.

What role did you play in the execution of these contracts?

iDesigns, you know, the one where the website is a cut and paste job
from one of those make-your-own website sites.


Much of the copy and photos were swiped from other sites, too. The site
seems to be nothing more than a reseller of access.

Next he'll be telling us his "company" works closely with some of the
best in the world! He's programmed for google, yahoo, etc.!

What did the operator do to him? ;-)

The web sites you create are what? More owl stories?

Taller than your BFF.


How tall is that, Mr. Popeye lookalike?

The money would be better not spent on Federal government programs. Why
should Federal money be used for mostly local and state projects?

HUGE difference. Developing and prototyping a Military Fighter is
nothing like writing a simple database... especially when you consider
most if not all of the code is out there already, just needs to be
compiled... A very dedicated high school student could probably write
the site as a senior project in a couple semesters....

If you look at PsychoSnotty's "iDesign" pages, you'll think a junior
high school designed and programmed them.

How do we know that Harry Krause could do any better than a junior high
school designer/programmer?

These days, probably not as well. Kids these days never seem to come
outdoors and play, so they must be doing a lot of compute ring.


Our public website is a billboard... Most of the hard core "design" we
did in the past revolved around making different systems and languages
"talk" to each other...

Here's the deal.. I will stipulate that "one week and ten grand" was a
wild exaggeration for effect, but I made my point. If you understand
that most of the problem with the ACA website was that too many
different companies "shared the wealth".. (Probably half the money went
to the paperwork you need to fill out to write a website for a local
college for **** sake....) The problem was, too many companies, with
different operating proceedures and structures for building a site, it
was a case of "too many cooks spoil the broth". If one company had taken
a team and written the thing, I still submit it could be done for a
million or two.... probably less...

You just have to get by the source here, and look at the facts... The
fact is, the project was so splintered, it never stood a chance...

That is so stupid it's beyond belief!! Just what you describe is done
all of the time, all over the world!

Not stupid beyond belief. Is why we have a lot of bloated bad software.
Write a " hello, world " program for windows and just see how big the
program is. All the class defining, windows subroutine calling. Why you
now require a gigahertz speed, terabyte drive to run a home computer and
get any throughput.

Oh horse****! Windows is bloated because most people didn't know how to
run a computer until they could click on a picture with a mouse. GUI it's of disk space.
takes the computing power.

Bull****. PARC developed the GUI and they ran on XTs. Go back to the
original MAC and Windows GUIs and tell me how they did it without 2 gigs of
memory and 500 g. The ultimate GUI is most of the shooter up games.
Nowhere near the relative memory required to run WORD.

Sure it ran on XT's THEN, when it was a small, mostly useless program.

BS. How much more does the newest iMac do than a 1987 Mackintosh? The
software is bloated because of the tools and the equipment. Nobody in the
PC world worries about memory or storage. I did years of embedded system
design and programming. We were limited to amount of memory and a
requirement for speed. We had problems with new graduates coming in and
not using the most efficient commands. In the 1960's / 1970's bank online
mainframe systems had anywhere from 40k to at the max 8 megabyte of memory.
That included IBM 303x systems. Sure the newer stuff is faster, and if
you look at games, those programmers are some of the better ones. They
have to program for speed. No one will buy a jerky screen update.
